In response to "Rhodes has been a very good reliever. Wags is an elite pitcher, it's not even close. " by musubi

I agree that Wagner deserves to go but I don't think it's nonsense to choose Rhodes. shrug -- nm

The other thing, if you're gonna select a non-closing reliever, it makes no sense to not choose Luke Gregerson. (nm) - musubi Jul 4, 13:40 10
- Rhodes era until last week was 0.28. He'd given up 1 run all season. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 13:54 8
  - No. Even if he hadn't allow a run all year it's not historic. He's pitched 33 innings. That's not historic at all. - musubi Jul 4, 14:34 7
    - Actually, it is. 33 straight appearances without a run allowed tied the record. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 14:59 6
      - Again 33 innings. It's absolutely a great accomplishment, and he's been wonderful. But Gregerson by almost every significant measure has been better - musubi Jul 4, 15:13 5
        
        Becuase the entire goal of a reliever is not to let the other guys score. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 15:20 4
        
        Gregerson right now has the lowest WHIP a reliever (min 40 innings) has EVER put up. Better than Eck in 89 and 90. - musubi Jul 4, 15:27 3
        
        Other than letting guys score which again, Rhodes was historic as recently as last Tuesday. - Will Hunting Jul 4, 15:30 1
        
        Rhodes is good. To be fair, yes, he's deserving of an AS nod. But more than Wagner or Gregerson? - musubi Jul 4, 15:32
        
        That's including his bad innings, not just a lucky streak. (nm) - musubi Jul 4, 15:29
- I'm not joking, I have no clue who he is. :-) He might be having a great year but I've never heard of him. -- nm - Krusty Jul 4, 13:46
